Dearman System’s Terminal
Automation Software, TAS.net™ and RTG™
The
United States
ships more than 300 billion ton-miles of hazardous materials each year,
worth over 650 billion dollars. While
this industry is important for the economy of the nation, it must be closely
monitored and positively secured. These
toxic materials can be detrimental if fallen into the wrong hands.
The Department of Homeland Security
has imposed strict requirements on the safe and secure transport of these
materials. These regulations can
be costly to uphold and put a significant pressure on operating margins.
Dearman Systems, Inc. is a
software company focusing on the bulk petroleum and chemical distribution
industry. Their software manages
the hardware interfaces, process control and secure-access management for
terminals. With a continuous
focus on research and development, Dearman is able to provide the most
cost-effective, powerful systems.
By integrating M2SYS’ innovative Bio-Plugin™
biometric software solution into their TAS.net™
and RTG ™ automation
packages, they are able to maintain a competitive edge in providing the most
secure and affordable terminal automation solution.
TAS.net™ is designed to be customized for single or multiple
terminal management from local computers as well as via the Internet using
Internet Explorer, providing secure and efficient remote access and
management of terminals from anywhere in the world. The RTG™ (Ready-To-Go)
terminal automation package is an unprecedented opportunity for small to
medium sized operations to economically automate with a high-quality
terminal automation system.
M2SYS’ Bio-Plugin™ solution enables software companies to quickly
integrate a complete, seamless fingerprint recognition system, including a
high-performance 1:N identification engine. Bio-Plugin™ eliminates the
system dependencies, extensive development, and specialized knowledge of
biometric system complexities that are inherent to fingerprint technology
SDKs. This enables software companies to remain focused on their core
products, while establishing a new revenue channel with the addition of an
integrated biometric component.
With the integration of fingerprint recognition technology, Dearman’s
customers can accurately identify persons transporting hazardous materials
and cargo truckloads to many high security sites throughout the
US
. Correctly identifying drivers
is of the utmost importance, as many of these driver’s cargos include
explosives, gases, flammable liquids, flammable solids, oxidizers and
organic peroxides, toxins, radioactive materials, corrosive materials, and
other miscellaneous dangerous goods.
Drivers can be entered into the system by simply scanning their fingerprint
a few times during the enrollment process.
After the initial enrollment, only one scan of the fingerprint by the
fingerprint reader is required to identify an individual.
When the fingerprint is scanned, the system identifies whether this
individual is authorized to be moving these cargoes.
If the fingerprint does not match, the individual is not authorized
and will not be permitted to transport these hazardous goods.
